It's the art of creating a "them". The government ... or more accurately the bankers have made everything they do possible by creating "thems".
Think about it.
Druggies

All of them... "Thems"
None of them are you.
It's ok to ridicule them..
It's ok to do this or that.. to them...
They have so separated us from each other that we willingly and eagerly watch as brothers are persecuted for nothing.
It's ok.. it just them...
Well just who the hell else is gonna save us from the next depression... by creating the next depression...
Of course they need more power.
The one and only thing wrong with this world is:
Not enough regulation...
And when I say regulation I mean tax.
I see editorials and interviews where both outcomes are predicted.. almost frantically. No one knows what will happen... They just know something big is about to occurr.
I tend to side with Gerald Celente's views that we are about to see a crash and then war.
When all else fails implement the true economic engine.. The millitary industrial complex.
Will it work?
Not this time I think.
Assuming you are running windows I would say no. Linux is a completely different operating system. There will be an alternative to just about every program you use though.
The only thing I ever use windows for anymore is just a couple oddball programs that I can't replace.
For any of those distro hoppers out there or just anyone tired of M$ bs... I've found the fastest operating system out there with plenty of eye candy.

Funnier they were floating stories that North Korea did it.
When I get as old as you I'm sure I'll agree...
Yep, I do try to catch all of his interviews.
He's been on the money with just about all of his predictions.
Turkey threatens action; Israel on alert
New Delhi: Turkey has threatened Israel with unprecedented action after Israeli forces attacked an aid vessel, killing 10 peace activists headed to Gaza.
Israel said 10 people died while those on the ship said at least 15 were killed.
A shocked world has responded with outrage. Turkey recalled its ambassador to Israel and warned of unprecedented and incalculable reprisals.
Two Turkish activists were reported to be among those killed in the flotilla. Ankara warned that further supply vessels will be sent to Gaza, escorted by the Turkish Navy, a development with unpredictable consequences.
Israel has sounded an alert throughout the country fearing rocket attacks by Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The Arab League has called an urgent meeting on Tuesday to decide on a common response. Egypt is under pressure to end the blockade of Gaza while Greece has cancelled a military exercise with Isreal.
The world is waiting for the response from Washington, how will President Obama react to the provocation from America's closest ally.
Been picking sides since just after 911.
Looks like it will be China and Russia against the US and Britain.
I am getting tired of waiting... Wish we could just get on with the fighting already.
World needs a reset anyways.
Putting on my cape and swooping in to save the world doesn't work until the world knows its in trouble.. sheesh
Europe falling apart.
Someone sure isn't drinking the 63 out of 63 trading days Crissy in East Hampton on this sunny morning. Spiegel reports that German president, and former IMF head, Horst Kohler has resigned effective immediately, "a shock announcement that comes as the latest in a series of blows to Chancellor Angela Merkel." The cause for the resignation is the fierce criticism of comments he made about Germany's military mission in Afghanistan. More importantly, this will merely add to the instability in an otherwise already politically ravaged Germany. Got Bund, Bobl and Schatz?
The question of the day is:
How will WWIII affect currency trading?
JERUSALEM – Israeli naval commandos stormed a flotilla of ships carrying aid and hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists to the blockaded Gaza Strip on Monday, killing nine passengers in a botched raid that provoked international outrage and a diplomatic crisis.
Dozens of activists and six Israeli soldiers were wounded in the bloody predawn confrontation in international waters. The violent takeover dealt yet another blow to Israel's international image, already tarnished by war crimes accusations in Gaza and its 3-year-old blockade of the impoverished Palestinian territory.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhayu canceled a much-anticipated meeting with President Barack Obama in Washington on Tuesday in a sign of just how gravely Israel viewed the international uproar. In Canada, Netanyahu announced he was rushing home.
Israel said it opened fire after its commandos were attacked by knives, clubs and live fire from two pistols wrested from soldiers after they rappelled from a helicopter to board one of the vessels. Late Monday, it released a grainy black-and-white video that it said supported its version of events.
Reaction was swift and harsh, with a massive protest in Turkey, Israel's longtime Muslim ally, which unofficially supported the mission. Ankara announced it would recall its ambassador and call off military exercises with the Jewish state.
The U.N. Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting later Monday to hear a briefing on the incident, said Lebanon's Deputy Ambassador Caroline Ziade, whose country holds the council presidency. The Arab League called for a meeting to discuss the issue Tuesday in Cairo.
The showdown came at a sensitive time for Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking. Netanyahu, who expressed his "full backing" for the military raid, had hoped to receive a high-profile expression of support from Obama after months of strained relations over Israeli settlement construction.
The White House said in a written statement that the United States "deeply regrets" the loss of life and injuries and was working to understand the circumstances surrounding this "tragedy."
The activists were headed to Gaza to draw attention to the blockade, which Israel and Egypt imposed after the militant Hamas group seized the territory of 1.5 million Palestinians in 2007.
There were conflicting accounts of what happened early Monday, with activists claiming the Israelis fired first and Israel insisting its forces fired in self defense. Communications to the ships were cut shortly after the raid began, and activists were kept away from reporters after their boats were towed to the Israeli port of Ashdod.
Helicopters evacuated the wounded to Israeli hospitals, officials said. Three ships had reached port by early evening and some 80 activists had been removed without serious incident, the military said.
The footage filmed from Israeli aircraft and released by the military showed activists swarming around commandos after they descended from a helicopter by rope onto a boat carrying 600 passengers. Activists scuffled with the commandos and are seen throwing an object the military identified as a firebomb.
A commando who spoke to reporters on a naval vessel off the coast, identified only as "A," said he and his comrades were taken off guard by a group of Arabic-speaking men when they rappelled onto the deck.
He said some of the soldiers were stripped of their helmets and equipment and thrown from the top deck to the lower deck, and that some had even jumped overboard to save themselves. At one point one of the activists seized one of the soldiers' weapons and opened fire, the commando said.
A high-ranking naval official displayed a box confiscated from the boat containing switchblades, slingshots, metal balls and metal bats. "We prepared (the soldiers) to deal with peace activists, not to fight," he said. Most of the dead were Turkish, he added.
Turkey's NTV network showed activists beating one commando with sticks as he landed on one of the boats. Dr. Arnon Afek, deputy director of Chaim Sheba Medical Center outside Tel Aviv, said two commandos were brought in with gunshot wounds. Another had serious head wounds from an unspecified blow, Afek added.
Before communications to the boats were severed, a Turkish website showed video of pandemonium on board one of the vessels, with activists in orange life jackets running around as some tried to help an activist lying motionless on the deck. The site also showed video of an Israeli helicopter flying overhead and Israeli warships nearby.
Activists said Israeli naval commandos stormed the ships after ordering them to stop in international waters, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) from Gaza's coast.
A reporter with the pan-Arab satellite channel Al-Jazeera, who was sailing on the Turkish ship leading the flotilla, said the Israelis fired at the vessel before boarding it, wounding the captain.
"These savages are killing people here, please help," a Turkish television reporter said.
The broadcast ended with a voice shouting in Hebrew, "Everybody shut up!"
At a news conference in Tel Aviv, Israel's military chief of staff and navy commander said all of the violence was centered on the lead boat, the Mavi Marmara, which was carrying 600 of the 700 activists. Troops took over the five other boats without incident, military chief Gabi Ashkenazi said.
"To me it is clear without a doubt, judging by what I saw and what I heard in the first reports from the soldiers, that in light of the danger to human life this violence required the use of weapons," Ashkenazi said.
Robin Churchill, a professor of international law at the University of Dundee in Scotland, said the Israeli commandos boarded the ship outside of Israel's territorial waters.
"As far as I can see, there is no legal basis for boarding these ships," Churchill said.
Many of the activists were from Europe.
At Barzilai hospital in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon, a few activists trickled in under military escort. "They hit me," said a Greek man, whose right arm was in a sling, calling the Israelis "pirates." He did not give his name as he was led away. A second man, also Greek, wore a neck brace.
The European Union deplored what it called excessive use of force and demanded an investigation by Israel. It called the Gaza blockade "politically unacceptable," and called for it to be lifted immediately.
Turkey and other nations called on the U.N. Security Council to convene in an emergency session about Israel.
Thousands marched in protest in Istanbul, some setting Israeli flags on fire after unsuccessfully trying to storm the Israeli consulate. Israel quickly advised to its citizens to avoid travel to Turkey. In Jordan, hundreds of protesters demanded that their government break diplomatic relations with the Jewish state.
Israeli security forces were on alert across the country for possible protests, but no serious unrest were reported.
There were no details on the identities of the casualties, or on the conditions of some of the more prominent people on board, including 1976 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire of Northern Ireland and European legislators. Holocaust survivor Hedy Epstein, 85, did not join the flotilla as she had planned.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the Israeli "aggression," declared three days of mourning across the West Bank and called on the U.N. Security Council and Arab League to hold emergency sessions on the incident.
Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the rival Hamas government in Gaza, condemned the "brutal" Israeli attack and called on U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to intervene.
In Uganda, Ban condemned the deaths and called for a "thorough" investigation. "Israel must provide an explanation," he said.
Before the ships set sail from waters off Cyprus on Sunday, Israel had urged the flotilla not to try to breach the blockade and offered to transfer some of the cargo to Gaza from an Israeli port, following a security inspection.
Organizers included the IHH, an Islamic humanitarian group that is based in Istanbul but operates in several other countries. Israel outlawed the group in 2008 because of its ties to Hamas.
The flotilla of three cargo ships and three passenger ships carrying 10,000 tons of aid and 700 activists was carrying items that Israel bars from reaching Gaza, like cement and other building materials.
Israel has allowed ships through five times, but has blocked them from entering Gaza waters since a three-week military offensive against Gaza's Hamas rulers in January 2009.

Goldenberg reported from aboard the Israeli warship INS Kidon. AP writers Selcan Hacaoglu in Ankara and Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations contributed to this report.
Well, I think this just about sums it all up:
http://www.zerohedge.com/article/time-speak-out
The thing is they are only making the outcome worse. My perception of this is that it is intentional in order to "Time" the collapse to happen all at once. This would enable a very fluid transfer into not only a one world currency but a one world government.
The problem with falling in love with $'s or even Euros is that they are all based on nothing but a wish and a hope.
Both will fail in the near term.
The only question is which goes first.
Good call...
Yes precisely my point.
All fictitious enterprises.
Our economy and our major corporations all do... NOTHING.
Sooner or later it all comes down.
Yep, bingo
They're making too much money putting folks in jail over it to legalize it.
Well, yeah... That's their plan.
They have to destroy our nation to make us want to be a part of a global conglomeration of nation states.
It's about to really get nasty.
Yup, Villas, that looks quite likely.
the funny thing to watch will be all the idiots screaming that the EUR is back and gaining strength.. troubles over and all...
Just a consolidation during a downtrend.
Oh I've said it for years.. Lincoln didn't free any slave.. he merely enslaved the rest of us so we wouldn't know the difference.
That mentality is rather prevalent... or at least was here in the deep south.
We need to begin producing anything again.
Think about our major industries now in the 21st... what are they?
Fictional.
Our major industries are number changers... lenders and collectors.
There really is no manufacturing... only service.
It's almost over.
Yep, and that bill will make it as far as that story... and no further.
Not to worry... It won't last forever:

Just pull up a streaming chart while you trade.. If there is a difference in the rates on one of those trade ending spikes then you'll know
I do believe it is in their fine print that they reserve the right to trade against you.
I don't know how much they can prop at this point...
I do know we are very early in the collapse even though the morons say the worst is behind us. Greece will default unless they surrender sovriegnty and become merely a province of the European nation. The same is true of Spain Ireland and Italy most immediately.
Fairly soon California will default and that will be the end.
So I never know how the market open on Sunday will look, but I do know.. The trend is down.
Oh I was looking at it's actions based on a database... That to me read automated trader...
Yeah I'm back now.
And yes it was a nice trip.
I think the analogy from the Matrix was fairly accurate by depicting us as batteries.
I've tried some of the automated traders... Never could get them to ACTUALLY do what I told them to.
As far as programming my own?
I've never noticed it with Oanda. I have checked their rates against an unaffiliated source numerous times and haven't noticed more than a two pip difference.
Of course it's possible I was looking at the wrong times too.
Ummm... yeah I'd say so.
Yup.. when does it end and when will people finally draw a line... I don't care what line... Any godam line... Just draw a line.
Had a problem with Forex.com doing that years ago.
The only way I found to prove it was comparing an unafiliated live stream to their trading platform. The rates were rarely the same.
I dropped them immediately and have yet to look back.
Haven't had a problem with Oanda.
EUR/USD support at 1.26ish area looks to now be resistance...
EUR/USD has really nice support around the 1.26ish area...
Keep a watchfull eye on it..
Even the monthly chart is showing oversold..
No predictions... Just saying watch it... Big move coming.
Ohhhh... I think I'll hold to my statement :)
